Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Saeed Ghani has demanded the removal of caretaker Interior Minister Azam Khan.
In a statement, Ghani said that Azam Khan has been exposed in the case of Zulfi Bukhari. “It is not a secret now that Interior Minister Azam Khan has soft corner for PTI and is
working to facilitate it. How an individual could be appointed on a very sensitive post when he is openly siding with one politi
cal party and can easily influence and use government machinery to benefit a particular politi
cal party,” he asked.
Ghani said that another PML-N member, Marvi Memon, co
ntinues to work as chairperson of the Benazir Income Su
pport Programme (BISP) despite reservations expressed by the PPP. “Reports are that Marvi is pressurizing her staff to work in su
pport of PML-N, which is unethical and amounts to pre-poll rigging. Elections cannot be free and fair if individuals like Azam Kha
n and Marvi Memon co
ntinue to occupy important, influential and sensitive positions in the government,”he maintained.
